The Boston street-Car Strike.

BosToN, February 12-The strike on
the Cambridge railroad was broken in a
small degree to-day by the company start
ing car for Boston, which made the
trip without interference, although there
was the usual number Of strikers and out
siders along the route, who yociferously
yelled at the new men. 1t is expected
that other cars will be sent out to-day in
succession, as the company claim to
have large number of men engaged.
On the South Boston road cars were
started this morning at intervals of eight
minutes. They were greeted with cheers
and yells on the route, but subjected to
no other interference. A large force Of
police are scattered along the various
streets trayersed by the cars. The cars
on the South Boston road were each ac-
companied by six policemen. The South
Boston company propose to run cars to-
night if police protection shall be assured.

FACTS AND HEARSAYs.

Another case Of alleged duplication OF
pay accounts by an army officer has been
discovered by the War Department. The
offender is said to be Second Lieutenant
John j. Shaw, Sixth infantry, who was
promoted from the ranks in 1890. When
last heard from Lieutenant SHAW was at
Hot Springs, Ark, but where he went
from there is unknown.
While it is known that a great many
army officers are eager TO succeed General
Hazen as chief signal officer, very few
formal applications have been filed at the
War Department. 1t is thought, how
ever, that a number are bringing their in
huence to bear upon the President direct
while many more, realizing the useless
ness Of making a move during the present
unsettled condition Of affairs in the sig
nal service, are quietly watching events.
Should Congress fail to transfer the SER
vice to a civil branch of the Government
the applicants will make siege upon the.
White House and War Department.
Ninety-six workmen of the 107 recently
discharged from the ordance department
at the Washington navyyard have been
reinstated, and the remaining eleven will
be given employment in a few days. The
discharge was caused by lack CT funds
to continue the work the men were en-
gagged upon. Secretary Whitney decided,
however that work could be commenced
under the appropriation for the arma-
ment Of the new cruisers, and at his di
rection the discharged employees were
reinstated. The money was available at
the time of the discharge, but the oppor-
tunity had not arrived for using il. Sec
retary Whitney made the opportunity.
in the Senate yesterday, at 1890 o'clock,
Mr. Riddleberger moved TO proceed to
the consideration of executive business.
He said he had no idea that the Senate
would do it, but that the State Of Virginia
was one for which appointments had
not been confirmed, and he was doing his
duty in seeking 10 prevail upon the
Senate TO do its duty. The motion was
put and lost A minute or two later Mr..
Riddleberger asked what had become of
his motion. The chair replied that II
had been put and lost Mr.. Riddleberger
said he was not aware it had been put.
He said he had a definite purpose in
moving for an executive session and he
intended to pursue it, The motion was
put and lost by cica o0ce vote, where
upon Mr. Riddleberger demanded the
yeas and nays, which were ordered The
only votes for the motion were those Of
PAYNE, Riddleberger, Palmer, Sawyer,
and George. The nays were 80.

XLIXth CONGRESS.
Senate.

l
WASHINGTON, February 12.-Mr. Cam
eron from the Committee on Naval At
fairs, reported back with amendments.the
bill introduced by him yesterday TO ain
crease the naval establishment" and
gave notice that he would call it up on
Monday Immediately after the morning
hour. The amendments made by the
Naval Committee have the affect Of fixing
the bonus to be paid the contractor for
the first knot in excess OF the contract
rate of 90 knots to be attained by the
proposed new cruisers at one hundred
thousand dollars and for each additional
knot two hundred thousand dollars. The
aggregate of the appropriation, twenty
one million eight hundred thousand dol
lars, has not been changed.
Mr.. Hale reported back from the Naval
Committee, with amendment, the bill in
troduced by him yesterday to provide
for an increase Of the naval establish
ment," and gave notice that he will call
it up at an early day.
The amendment appropriates three
millisns for the armament of vessels, for
the construction of which the bill pro-
vides. The bill now appropriates fifteen
million four hundred thousand dollars.
House.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal Mr. Scott of Pennsylvania, de-
manded the regular order and called up
the Senate bill for the retirement and re-
coinage of the trade dollar.
Mr.. ONeil, Of Missouri, raised point
of order that the Committee on Labor
was entitled to the floor under the prior
special order made in May last That
special order had been made under a sus-
pension of the rules in May last by a two
thirds vote, and he contended that it
could not be set aside by majority vote
of the Committee on Rules. Such
course would turn the making of spe-
cal order by twO-third vote into farce.
The Committee on Rules could nullify the
action of the House and tomorrow re-
port a resolution setting aside the re-
mainder Of the session for the cOnsdera-
tion Of one particular job, to the exclu-
sion of every prior special order.
The Speaker stated that the order
awarding the floor for one day to the
Committee on Labor, had been made in
May last, and was a continuing order.
Subsequently the HOuse-nOt the Com
mittee on Rules-had set aside particu-
lar day for the consideration of the

England's Policy in Egypt.

LONDON, February 12.-The foreign
correspondents are all telegraphing pro-
fusely about Drummond VOLTS policy to
Egypt, but have reason to know that
the programme he took with him from
this country was very different
from that which has been recon-
mended to the Sultan. Salisbury is
not so mad as to propose to neutralize
Egypt under the present conditions, but
merely to neutralize the Suez canal, as a
means of securing the assent of the
French to the other parts of his proposal.
The abolition Of the capitulatiOns, the
clearance of many superflucns European
officials, with a financial rearrangement,
are the real points Of VOLTS programme
The coupon, which is practically the
whole Egyptian question, will continue
to be paid in full.
